What’s on Blaze today

Tuesday’s daytime on Blaze runs the channel’s usual factual-entertainment loop. The Curse Of Civil War Gold and Evidence Of The Unexplained open the small hours from midnight, a paired run of Court Cam follows at 2am, and Junk & Disorderly: Henry’s Wreck-trospective airs its Bristol Classic Car Show episode at 3am before three editions of Hardcore Pawn carry the graveyard shift through to 5am.

Breakfast belongs to the pawn shop and auction crowd: Dickinson’s Real Deal continues from 6am, Pawn Stars Do America takes 6:45am, and two editions each of Storage Wars Canada and Storage Hunters fill the run up to 9:20am. Storage Wars then holds the late morning and early afternoon almost on its own, eight back-to-back episodes running from 9:20am to 12:35pm, before Pawn Stars Do America repeats at 1:05pm and Money For Nothing airs at 2:05pm.

Ancient Aliens takes two hours from 3:05pm, and Evidence Of The Unexplained closes out the afternoon at 5pm, ahead of Junk & Disorderly: Henry’s Wreck-trospective opening the evening at 6pm.

Blaze tonight — primetime and the evening schedule

Here’s the Blaze primetime line-up for tonight, Tuesday 18 August 2026.

Junk & Disorderly: Henry’s Wreck-trospective — Blaze, 6pm

Henry Cole and Sam Lovegrove take on a BSA Bantam this evening, working the little roadster into a trials bike before trying to move it on for a profit. It’s an older instalment from the strand’s first run rather than fresh footage, but the bike build gives it more shape than a straight clip-show.

Dickinson’s Real Deal — Blaze, 7pm & 8pm

David Dickinson runs a double bill from the regional fairs, putting a price on whatever sellers bring to the table across two back-to-back hours. Familiar, low-stakes trading that asks nothing of anyone tuning in cold.

Death Coast — Blaze, 9pm & 10pm

Shipwreck hunter Jeff Mackinnon’s crew get two hours tonight. A storm pushes the team into a sheltered cove at 9pm, where the search turns to a wreck with an eighteenth-century backstory, and the 10pm hour ties off strands the earlier dive left hanging.

Mega Disasters 3 — Blaze, 11pm

The disaster documentary strand rounds off the night with its third series still working through large-scale catastrophes and their aftermath.

What kind of shows are on Blaze

Military and world history documentaries

This is the strand worth setting a reminder for, and it rewards anyone who has already worked through the more familiar documentaries elsewhere. Hitler’s Engineers and U-Boat Wargamers go after corners of the Second World War that don’t get the rotation the D-Day landings and the Battle of Britain do, and both are made with more care than the channel’s reputation would lead you to expect.

Ancient mysteries and the unexplained

Ancient Aliens, The UnXplained with William Shatner, Weird Britain and MonsterQuest account for more hours than anything else on Blaze. The evidence base is viral footage, satellite imagery and eyewitness account rather than anything that has been through review. Watch accordingly.

Factual entertainment and reality

Storage Wars Canada, Pawn Stars and Dickinson’s Real Deal hold the daytime. Ordinary people, real money, modest budgets, and nobody involved pretending it is anything more than that.

How to watch Blaze

Channel numbers

Blaze is free on all of the above platforms, with no subscription required. Virgin Media and Freesat channel numbers may vary slightly depending on your box and region, so your on-screen guide is the definitive source if these don’t match.

Streaming online

Blaze streams live and free at watch.blaze.tv and via the free BLAZE app on iOS, Android, Amazon Fire TV and select smart TVs. No account, subscription or payment card is needed to watch the live stream.

Blaze streaming and catch-up

Blaze runs a Freeview +1 timeshift channel on 92, which is useful when you land on the 9pm show twenty minutes in and would rather start it properly. There is no +1 on Sky, Virgin or Freesat, so Freeview is the only route to a delayed watch.

The BLAZE app and website also carry a real catch-up library rather than a token one. New episodes are typically added daily and stay on demand for around 30 days.

Verdict

Blaze knows what it is and doesn’t oversell it, which on most nights is enough. The military history slot is the reason to keep the channel in mind at all: Hitler’s Engineers would hold its own two hundred channel numbers lower down. The unexplained material is lighter, fine as entertainment provided you don’t go to it for evidence. The pawn shops and storage lockers ask nothing of you, which some evenings is the whole appeal.

Tonight is a quieter evening on the premiere front, with the whole line-up drawn from the library rather than fresh episodes: a Junk & Disorderly compilation at 6pm, a Dickinson’s Real Deal double bill either side of it, then Death Coast running two hours back to back from 9pm before Mega Disasters 3 takes the graveyard slot from 11pm. Nothing here is appointment viewing, but it’s the sort of undemanding factual TV Blaze does reliably most nights of the week.
